Guestbook comments from the manager

The sublet was beautiful and spacious, just as the pictures show. Very comfortable for a family of 5 and could easily accommodate more if needed. The neighborhood had a coffee house across the street for delicious ground Red Eye coffee for the morning and some home cooking at a little place Kenny referred us down the street was a nice treat. Kenny was a gracious host and very accommodating, we got to sit and chat with one of the neighbors one morning, while drinking coffee and soaking in NY. Sitting in the backyard and listening to the kids in the school yard echoing through the neighborhood while I drank coffee (yes I drank a lot of coffee) in the morning was one of the highlights before hitting the subway and the big city. It was loud but peaceful at the same time. I would definitely stay again if I ever get the chance to return to the Big Apple...thank you Kenny!

Convenient and comfortable

We (me and two kids and pets) were relocated due to a home issue for a week and were happy to find a place that was really convenient to the subway in our neighborhood. Location is great, right next to a corner store, across the street from restaurants and bars. Well appointed with dishes and everything we needed. Appreciated the ability to bring our pets (cat and parakeet) at extra cost. Washer/dryer was super convenient for a family! The amenities are luxurious in comparison to our place - we had 4 TVs! Great option for out of town guests, multiple people, plenty of sleeping space. Thank you for a great stay!

We stayed at Kenneth's apartment for 8 days and had a fantastic time. Kenneth and Mark were great hosts, helping us with everything we needed. There are really cool bars and eating places in the street so no need to go far at night. The apartment was very comfortable for 2 families, 8 people. We enjoyed having our own courtyard to relax after a days sightseeing.

Misleading Apartment Description

1
of 5

First off, the reviews "by owner" and by "Veronica V" suspiciously appeared days after we had called out the property manager for the misleading apartment description. They both coincidentally try to discredit each one of our concerns. Here are the issues:

1) "Sophisticated 1300 Square foot, one-floor flat" - The livable space on the main floor is only about 800-900 sq feet. The other 300-400 sq feet is a dark, dingy and unkept downstairs basement where the washer and dryer are, and not exactly a place you will want to spend any time despite the description of it being a "windowless lounge." There is an ant problem in the apartment, the floors (kitchen) are filthy, and "sophisticated" and "modern" are very misleading words used to describe this apartment.

2) "Huge private outdoor space/patio/deck/garden with 10 garden chairs" - This is far from a "garden" and there is rotting wood, trash and junk items littered all about. Again, likely not a place you will want to spend much time.

3) "Modern Baths" - They are far from modern and the shower and 2nd bathroom sink literally do not drain.

4) Locked thermostat - When we arrived the thermostat was set to 85 and the property manager didn't adjust it for 2 days. Once he did, he set it to 75, which was still incredibly hot. They refuse to allow renters the ability to control their own temperature settings.

5) "Refundable Security Deposit" - Owner/manager will make you pay the 3% Paypal fees on receiving this back, which is not standard.

Positives: Comfortable beds/linen. Two incredible restaurants in area (Peaches, Saraghina). Close to A Train.

Nice and clean apartment

This apartment is just like the pictures. Very nice and clean! Everything listed in the description online was accurate, which was a relief because you never know when booking online. The managers and his assistants were extremely helpful and were always available when needed.

I would have given the place 5 stars if it would have been in a better neighborhood. Please keep in mind, we never felt unsafe, it just wasn't as nice as other neighborhoods.

But there were many perks, its close to the subway, the apartment is on the first floor so you don't have to go up stairs and there are many good eateries nearby.

Overall, its a good place to stay, and the price is a deal compared to the more pricey neighborhoods.

For the privacy and security of our guests and our long-term tenants in this brownstone, we do not disclose the physical address of the location until you have booked with us. The nearest cross-streets are Decatur Street and Lewis Avenue. The apartment is 2 1/2 blocks away from the A express and C local subway lines at Utica Avenue, and 15 minutes from Manhattan.
